<p>Who has taken this course and what book did you use? How'd you do on the exam? Did the book prepare you well?</p>
<p>i took the course my soph year (my hs ap euro = standard for 10th graders). we read a book called Western Civilization by this dude - i cant remember his name). all i remember doing was actually reading the book during the year and studying on my 'weaknesses' (ie what I had forgot or was sketchy on). anywho, i got a 5. i just used Princeton for a refresher summarization of the chapters i needed a refreshment on.</p>
<p>Lol, no one in our school really even considers AP until Junior year, and even then, if you take more than one, you are "insane!!" ... this year, i have three sophs in my euro class, but i'm a senior. I really wish they had started offering these classes to us at a younger age... now it's disappointing because I want to have more APs but i've only got a few because I started junior year.</p>
<p>colleges view your academic profile as a relative term (ie if you maximized the opportunities available at your high school)</p>
<p>I took it as a sophomore too. My teacher gave the answers to the questions before the tests. I didn't know the importance of AP tests, so it was a bit of a joke to me. I still managed a 3 even after doing such things as sleeping, playing cards, and ****ing in a water bottle in class. You'll do fine.</p>
<p>that's disgusting. But anyways, i was just curious about what text you guys were all using becuase our teacher is jumping back and forth in between books and he's not doign a very good job at teaching us anything and so I wanted to get a good book and figure it out myself.</p>
<p>We used Wetern Civ, too!
REA + PR helps.
I got a 4 (thou our class was only 1 sem. )</p>
<p>what is REA and PR?</p>
<p>the prep books' publishers.
PR = princeton review, btw</p>
<p>Is that Western Civilizations by some guy with the name like Spigliovich? sorry about the very messed up spelling.</p>
<p>ya thats his name</p>
<p>My sophomore class used Kishlansky's Civilization in the West. It was awesome. I read every chapter and made a five.</p>
